Noji on Tea:
Recreate the tea tasting scene of Tea Saint Lu Yu and Kyaukran
Brother Runaway
In 778 AD, outside Wuxing Myoki Temple, tea pavilion.
Ancient trees towering in the sky, September chrysanthemum. The autumn breeze is gentle and refreshing. The two gentlemen of Sencha in front of the mountain are Lu Yu and Kyaukran. One is an unemployed vagrant who stutters and the other is a monk who serves as the CEO of the temple.
Five bowls were boiled in one stove, and the aroma of tea under the forest was pervasive. Jiaoran put down the blue Yue bowl in his hand and sighed: "Xiao Lu, your Sencha skill is getting better and better, the wild rhyme is sweet, the tea taste is timeless, and the victory is the autumn color of the Mountains!" ”
Lu Yu smiled slightly, and said, "The method of Sencha is not the heart of nature outside the Dao Law, and the true taste of the tea spring!" Moreover, one tea and one realm, one water and one charm are indeed wonderful and interesting. ”
Jiaoran shook his head slightly, and his face was full of drunkenness after tea: "If the heart is simple, the autumn wind will come." If the heart is empty, see the flowers bloom. Xiao Lu, since the first draft of your tea theory was criticized by me as a 'false name', you immersed yourself in the mountains and studied tea cultivation books. After more than ten years of practice, you have not been vain, you have a degree of practice, and you have the heart of great achievement! The Book of Tea Sutra is almost finished, right? ”
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Since the Anshi Rebellion, the people's livelihood has suffered. After I came to Wuxing, thanks to the full support of Brother Xie, the Book of Tea Classics gradually took shape. Moreover, Brother Xie, you are invisible in the Zen Temple, you have achieved success in meditation, your heart is high, and your tea ceremony is profound, and I have also benefited a lot! ”
Jiaoran: "As the saying goes, the heart has no landscape, how to see the landscape." The mind has no nature, how to fa nature. There are many tea drinkers in the world, how many people have enlightenment? You are simple by nature, you see more mountains, and you are closest to nature. Elegant but not grouped, indifferent and refined. It is the person who stands for tea! ”
Lu Yu sighed, "It's all tears!" Ancient books in history are scarce and difficult to find. In particular, Du Yuzhi's "Chuan Fu" of the Western Jin Dynasty is the most precious! Just 97 words, full of the subtlety of tea. Read it every time: 'Shine like snow, wash like spring.' 'It's a great thing!' I asked the tea person, what I saw was autumn, what I heard was pine, and what I thought was the moon. Among them, the pleasure of the soul and the aesthetics of the human world are known to those who are entangled in red dust. ”
"It has been nearly 2,000 years since King Wu of Zhou received Gongba tea. How many fireworks and winds, it is indeed not easy to explore the wonders of tea in the world. He sighed.
"Indeed it is. The land of Nanzhao, all mountains are tea. The land of Bashu, than the drink of the house. How many spring and autumn and stories in the world are scattered with the wind. Just as the so-called South Dynasty 480 Temple, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain! Lu Yu replied sheepishly.

The two were silent, and Lu Yu went to sencha again.
Tea break, gentle wind.
Lu Yu said slowly, "After the prosperous world, there are many thoughts." In the middle of the dynasty, there were many tea drinkers. The method of drinking tea is easy to do, and the method of understanding tea is rare. What is the Word? The rules of heaven and earth, the transformation of all things. The mystery of heaven and earth, the wonder of nature. The spring and autumn are easy, and the mountains and rivers are changing. It is difficult to understand. ”
Kyaukran smiled and said, "I practice Zen, I see my nature clearly, and I see myself." For the method of tea ceremony, there are occasional deep thoughts. Xiao Lu, you are benevolent and Zhongzheng, and you have a home country in your heart, and it is normal to have these thoughts. In fact, tea is natural, and people realize themselves. If you know, you know, and if you are blunt, you are blunt. ”
Lu Yu said, "What Brother Xie said is very true! As the method of asking questions, there should be a heart to ask questions. The Tao Fa asks the heavens, the Zen Fa asks the nature, and the Confucian Fa cultivates the body. The Tao explains Confucianism and knows the heavens and the earth, and it is natural to use tea. The magic method of tea must come from the Taoist nature, and the unity of heaven and man. It can be described as: a light of tea, a few wisps of fresh wind. It is the Tao, it is Zen, it is Ya. ”
Jiaoran clapped his knees and laughed: "Tea should be Daxing, tea should be Daxing." A drink of polyester sleepiness, love comes to the heavens and the earth. Drink my god again, and suddenly sprinkle light dust like a flying rain. If you drink three times, you will be enlightened, so why bother to break through your troubles? This thing is unknown to the world, and the world drinks a lot of self-deception. I know that the tea ceremony is all true, only Danqiu has such a thing. ”
Kyaukran also said, "In life, there is only self-transit." Drunkenness is wine, drunkenness is tea. But alas, how unenlightened are people! Who knows how wonderful the aroma of tea is? Who knows how profound the tea way is? Xiao Lu, come, have to be leisurely and leisurely! You and I, but drunk on the wind and flowers in the world, do not live up to a fountain of tea. Although I asked Zen, I was also envious of the immortals. Although I have stepped on the mountains and established the earth, I am even more looking forward to the royal wind of the sons! ”
Lu Yu stood up, walked slowly, and said lightly: "Heaven and earth have their own wonders, nature has its own beauty, the avenue has its own rules, and people have their own tracks." Man begins with nature and ends up in nature. Peng flies in the sky, fish leaps in the abyss, and people stand between heaven and earth. It is that all things have their way, and every man has its way. Man is the existence of natural things, the embodiment of the spirits of heaven and earth. Therefore, the road is simple, the living soul is true, and the human being will return to nature, ask for life, and seek the most beautiful.
Drinking tea with jun is really a blessing in the world! Noji Yamaen, on matsuma stone. Qingtang pond, under the autumn wind and moon. How beautiful is the tea ceremony! Brother, I withdrew, went back to Qingtang, tomorrow I will make tea again, accompanied by autumn winds. ”
Lu Yu waved the long sleeves of his robe and laughed away. The dashing figure drowned behind the layers of woods, and a few chants came slowly: "The bright moon illuminates my history, and the breeze sends tea to the window." Don't ask about the wind and dust in the world, but you have to get away with it. ”
